Can't access Kingston USB DTI/1GB thumb drive running Widows 7
in [Windows XP]
|
From: war on 5 Apr 2010 14:13 The following error is logged in the system event log when I plug-in my Kingston USB DTI/1GB thumb drive under Windows 7 (The ScRegSetValueExW call failed for Type with the following error: Access is denied.) For starters the thumb drive works properly, a friend just copied an application onto it which I would like to retrieve. NOTES: When I insert the drive, I hear the usually sound which indicates that a device (USB) has been detected, but it doesn't appear in Windows Explorer. It does however appear in Computer Management/ Disk Management, in the lower part of the screen, as disk 8 removable without a drive letter assigned. When I right click it I'm offered the following options - Change Drive Letter, Format and Properties. If I select either Change Drive Letter or Properties I receive the following error: "The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console view is not up-to-date." It goes on to suggest that I refresh the view, restart service or computer. Suggested actions don't resolve problem Also if I right-click and select the Format I receive a completely different error " AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURRED. CHECK THE SYSTEM EVENT LOG FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE ERROR. CLOSE THE DISK MANAGEMENT CONSOLE, THEN RESTART DISK MGMT OR RESTART COMPUTER. Suggested action doesn't resolve problem. Lastly, I verified that the USB port works by inserting a Samsung music play and it said ready to use. ANY IDEAS?

Post here for assistance: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/threads Could the flash drive be infected? (Yes.) war wrote: > The following error is logged in the system event log when I plug-in > my Kingston USB DTI/1GB thumb drive under Windows 7 (The > ScRegSetValueExW call failed for Type with the following error: Access > is denied.) > > For starters the thumb drive works properly, a friend just copied an > application onto it which I would like to retrieve. > > NOTES: When I insert the drive, I hear the usually sound which > indicates that a device (USB) has been detected, but it doesn't appear > in Windows Explorer.

For Windows 7 question, use answers.microsoft.com No ideas! The Kingston DTI/1Gb does work correctly under Windows 7, Vista and XP.
From: LD55ZRA on 5 Apr 2010 17:43 Windows 7 is still in beta and Microsoft is making money by flogging off a beta version which was generally available for free. I compared the files from beta version and the released version that I bought from Amazon and surprisingly the files are identical including the dates. Comparing them to OEM versions, the dates have changed on OEM versions but the files are still identical in size and names so I concluded that Windows 7 is still in beta and one has to wait until SP1 comes out this june. hth war wrote: > > The following error is logged in the system event log when I plug-in > my Kingston USB DTI/1GB thumb drive under Windows 7 (The > ScRegSetValueExW call failed for Type with the following error: Access > is denied.) > > For starters the thumb drive works properly, a friend just copied an > application onto it which I would like to retrieve. > > NOTES: When I insert the drive, I hear the usually sound which > indicates that a device (USB) has been detected, but it doesn't appear > in Windows Explorer.
